I was invited to a great event in July which I sadly couldn’t take part in due to family commitments but I hope to go next year. It’s an event where the top toy companies showcase their new products for the upcoming Christmas season and ask a group of mums (I was supposed to be one of them) to go around the toy fair and judge the toys, choosing their top 5 for each category as can be seen below.
So in a ‘You heard it here first’ these are the products my fellow judges chose and I thought by sharing them now you could do a little internet search and see if any of them fit the bill for your gift list.
Enjoy the list, I’d be interested to know what your thoughts are – would you have chosen them?
